I yo-yoed pretty hard due to a couple of stressful years, but I'm back for round two and looking for some new friends!

I haven't been tracking well this year and some of the weight I lost crept back. In that time a lot of my friends dropped off as well, so I'd love some new ones!

It's weird but when it was just vanity I couldn't seem to keep at it for very long. It became a lot easier for me when I started doing roller derby and I realized how slow I was. Now it's a combo of vanity, derby endurance and not having to buy plus sized clothes. Plus I now have fabulous blood pressure and cholesterol…

Great smile! I went and looked through some of your other pictures, before that all I could think of was muddy ta-tas ;)

You and anyone else who is interactive can add me. I've been wanting more involved friends.

I am having fun! I decided to take up roller derby a little while back and it's pretty much one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only is it an amazing workout, I've met some truly awesome people. It's great as a self esteem booster too because no matter what your body type there is space for you on a derby team.…

Alright, I'll bite. Here I am rollerskating, wheeee!!!!

My mom had her dermatologist tell her, "waist or face, you can't have both", so he was clearly of the opinion that some extra fat helps plump out wrinkles. I also remember reading an article somewhere that said under a certain age fat made you look older but over a certain age it made you look younger. I don't know how…

Puppy Love!

You can add me! I eat all of those things, nom. Currently still in losing mode and training for roller derby. I log in every day and post pretty frequently.

Yep, total badass, until I trip over my own feet anyway. :wink:

The Germans have the best words, one of my favorites is kummerspeck. It translates to "grief bacon" and is a term for emotional overeating. Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I think if you find something you like doing that is active that will help. I was super lazy before I started doing roller derby, but now I love it…

You can add me! I log in every day and try my best to be supportive. I can also guarantee there will be some smart-assery on my end.

You can add me! I definitely eat, no fads or starving here.

I have a Fitbit flex and I LOVE it! It may not give completely accurate calorie counts but I think it's pretty darn close. As others have said, it definitely motivates me to move when I've been a lazy slug all day!

Totally! I'm always thinking about my budget for the day. I explained this thinking to a friend of mine and she thought I was brilliant, I'll have to tell her that I'm not that smart lots of people think this way!

I just wanted to point out that you are just too stinkin' cute.

Ok, I decided to add a photo after all. I went from about 217 to 167 and I'm about 5'5". I eat somewhere between 1600 and 1900 every day. Edited a couple times because the photo wouldn't fit.

Let me rephrase that, someday I won't be lazy and I'll post pictures. :tongue:

Yay food! I've been eating somewhere around 1600-1900 every day and I've lost about 50 lbs. Maybe someday I'll figure out how to post some damn pictures. Excellent job OP! :drinker:

I'm going as an eye meltingly bright neon rainbow unicorn. Lisa Frank would be proud.

Add me! I log every day, have my diary open to friends and like to comment on updates.

I'm a bit shorter than you but other than that we have pretty similar stats. My diary is open to friends, feel free to add me. Anyone else can add me as well but please send me a little message with your request. :happy:

I think I'm pretty lucky in that my fiance has been super supportive, he even started running with me. Just about the only time he whines is when I don't want to spend a bunch of calories drinking with him or eating a cheeseburger, but for the most part he's happy I'm becoming a healthier me.

Another example of a time when it would be nice to have a "like" button. Super job, keep it up!

Thanks for the share! (Just wanted to let you know that somebody looked at it) :)

I really like my veggies baked/broiled. I was never a fan of brussel sprouts because my mom always boiled them, turns out I love them baked. I throw veggies into just about everything, My housemates are "fussy" too, so I've had to get creative. I put veggies in lasagna, soups, mac n' cheese, etc. I used to work in a home…

For some reason I can never remember if I'm 5'5" or 5'6", but my next goal is 150, which is what I weighed in junior high. I could possibly see going down to around 135, maybe. I'm really into roller derby, so I guess I'll see when I kick the most butt, I'm definitely keeping my thunder thighs and booty, thankyouverymuch.

I just want to pass the minimum skills and skate in a real bout. Seems like every time I get close to passing the test I hurt something! Oh, and also think of a super awesome name that isn't already @#$%# taken.

Wow, I'd say you should omit these people from your life, but seeing as you work with them it doesn't seem like that is possible. I think the only thing left to do is lose the weight and flaunt it.
